January in Washington

Well I am am sorry to hear it is so cold in Des Moines. I am not sure how the missionaries survive there because I think it is cold here at night. It has been nice though because currently the Washington area is experiencing a drought. It has not rained for at least a week. I am not complaining. 

We had an ok week as far as missionary work goes. We were able to teach a couple different people and one of the people we are teaching showed up for church so that is good. We will try to put some of the people we have been teaching on date for baptism this week before the end of the transfer. This transfer did go by fast. Transfer calls are this Saturday so I will know next week if I will leave or stay in this area. It sounds like I will be here in Washington for one more full transfer so I would prefer to stay with my current companion, but we will see. We also had some very good dinners this last week.

 I have an interview tomorrow with President who is driving down to Lacey. He does interviews with the whole mission every other transfer and tomorrow is our day. He is done with his three years as President in July. Some missionaries got their 2014 Ford Fusion taken away and it is parked in our area so we have been plotting a way to ask President if we can use it. The odds are against us but you cannot blame us for trying.

 I checked out Anne's website.  It is really cool. Tell Anne I love it.  She is a cool kid. We are not sure what we are going to do for the Superbowl but missionary work is not an option due to crazy sea-hawk fans. I cannot say I really want to sit in my apartment either so we will see what happens. I am pretty sure if they win people will tear this city apart in celebration. I have been reading the New Testament and Old Testament recently. We got bashed pretty good by some Anti-mormon guy this week so that was not much fun. Its amazing how much anti material there is against this church.

 Yes we always get up at 6:30 and work out in the gym. Its a very good way to get up in the morning. I continue to pray for the family and my Visa. We are playing handball in the church today for elders activity so I am excited for that. Handball is my kind of game. 

Lots of Love,

Will
